The AWC brings together a massive gymnasium, an 80-metre indoor track, two-storey climbing wall, squash courts, cardio-fitness area and aerobic studios under one roof. It is built to LEED Gold certification with numerous eco-friendly features. It reuses much of the structure of the old DEL gymnasium, reducing the carbon footprint, waste and cost; there’s less reliance on electric lighting thanks to the abundance of windows; and rainwater and grey water are collected and used to flush the toilets and help keep the building cool. The building was award both the Ontario Association of Architects and The Governor General's Gold Medal for Architecture awards in 2014
